Most AE86 enthusiasts are stoked about this car. It really comes down to can Toyota stay true to their word and produce a car that actually feels like a successor to the 86 namesake, and not some sell out version to appease the masses. Once we get more information, specifically weight, hp/tq numbers, powerband, redline, etc. then I think more ae86 fans will be able to choose one way or the other. Right now it seems like a lot of them are on the fence with this car (well, at club4ag at least).

How long have these "posers" owned their 86's? Most posers can't own one for more than 1-1.5 years before they sell it because they just lose interest, or the car starts having problems and showing its age.
im surprised thats all. almost everyone here except 1 person i know are about initial d and buying this car because they cant afford much anyways. my friend who LOVES the ae86 because of the car itself says club4ag is filled with newbs talking about dreams of wanting to drift it and what not. hes owned 3 86's.
